Xalan's XSLT 3.0 implementation has been written using JDK 1.8
(synonym, for Java version 8) features. Therefore, as of now Xalan can
be deployed on class path.

Does it implement the service provider interfaces, e.g.
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory, so that users can use the
standard API but use the new implementation?

To use Xalan's XSLT 3.0 implementation as an API, JVM's system
property javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory needs to be set to
org.apache.xalan.processor.XSL3TransformerFactoryImpl which implements
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory.
